Ever since I was very young the people in this area called this bird 'The Snow Bird' as, at the time when snows and cold weather came earlier, it always showed up in the yards, and fields, and woods when the winter set in - and only in later life did I realize that the true name was'Junco hyemalis'. And this, not too well focused shot, is the last photograph of the season for I have not seen this cheery little fellow for a few days now and we had dozens coming to the feeder - so he must be moving back north to summer in Canada - keep a sharp eye for me Shamik for he'll be there soon.
